If you use Scrapy 2.13 or higher only, replace start_requests() with start(); note that start() is a coroutine (async def). If you need to maintain compatibility with lower Scrapy versions, when overriding start_requests() in a spider class, override start() as well; you can use super() to reuse the inherited start() implementation without copy-pasting.

'<p>For over 50 years, Ailey II – The Next Generation of Dance – '
'has merged the spirit and energy of the country’s finest '
'early-career dance talent with the passion and creative vision '
'of today’s most outstanding and emerging choreographers. Founded '
'by Alvin Ailey in 1974, this universally renowned company '
'embodies his pioneering mission to establish an extended '
'cultural community that provides dance performances, training, '
'and community programs for all people. Under the leadership of '
'Sylvia Waters, who served as artistic director for 38 seasons, '
'Ailey II flourished into one of the most popular modern dance '
'companies, combining a rigorous touring schedule with extensive '
'community outreach programs. Today, Francesca Harper sits at the '
'helm in her sixth season as Artistic Director, bringing fresh '
'perspectives to Mr. Ailey’s legacy, while nurturing new creative '
'voices and propelling the company forward.</p>\n'
